AP.PAREL

For today’s post, I’m back in the Pixel Mode Heights Studio Apartment skybox that came out a few days ago at 6th Republic! It’s a great setting for this couch from bauwerk that it out for the current round of ROMP. The couch has a wide variety of animations, including cuddles and adult options, if you buy one of the adult versions. From the same event, I am also wearing the Cerberus Xing Carnal nipple rings in silver. The jeans are a new store release from AP.PAREL that are currently also available at The Thrift Shop 9.0 at a discount! My hair is a new style from Damselfly that is out at On9, which opened yesterday. Everything else that I’m wearing is available from various events that are going on now, with full credits below.

I feel like I’ve been blogging things on my beach a lot, but this time of year, I spent a lot of time here! When I saw the Starboard Hammock by Consignment and Kuro at the round of Collabor88 that opened yesterday, I knew that I absolutely had to have it. Then I saw this new version of AP.PAREL‘s zip tank at The Thrift Shop 9.0, which opened today. I’ve already blogged a couple of other versions of this tank from its initial store release (which was mostly spring-themed), but this new version may be my favorite. The shorts are at this month’s The Men’s Department, and were created by Modulus. They’re rigged for The Mesh Project’s body, so they fit perfectly. I haven’t been able to find many shorts that fit the body as well as these. Finally, the flip flops* are brand new from FATEstep. As with all of the FATEstep shoes, the Wilde Sandals include a HUD that changes them to 60 different textures. These include sandy options, which is perfect for the beach. Finally, the sunglasses are new at Collabor88 from Sorgo and the necklace is available at The Thrift Shop 9.0 from B’LEAF. Full credits are below!

I’ve been thinking about re-doing my home in Second Life for a while, and thankfully I found a few things that were exactly what I needed to do it at Uber, which just opened yesterday. First is the Chalkboard Bar by Trompe Loeil. I bought the full pack that also includes the metal barstools in a variety of colors, and the neon bar signs. To help me get some painting done, I also have the Makeover Ladder* from N4RS, which comes with the paint cans and drop cloth on the ground. I’ve been spot testing those three colors of paint, and think I may go with the green to match the lighting on the Bar Fridge from [kunst] back there in the kitchen. I also have a great piece of wall decor already in place that is available as a Relay For Life donation item at the Fantasy Faire – it’s the RFL Purple Neon Club Light* from De Baza. On top of the bar fridge is another RFL donation item at the Fantasy Faire. It’s called “A Faire Memory 2015″* and is from MacMoragh and Muse.

When I saw the Zip Tanks that AP.PAREL released today, I got really excited. They’re one of my favorite brands in SL, and I can always use some nice summerwear. I’ve completed the outfit with a variety of items from events, all of which are credited below, but I think the kPhone 3C from Kunst really gave the outfit a lot of feeling – I can just picture myself seeing someone attractive walking by on the boardwalk, standing like that, and taking a quick photo of them.
